| English | But if samsara is a nonthing without existence, it can fulfill no function. Therefore, even if it were based on a mind that is established as a genuinely existent thing, how could it "do” anything, whether in terms of its imprisoning us or our being freed from it? A rabbit’s horn could never dig the earth, even if it were supported by a [real] hand; the fact is that nonexistent things are not supported by anything at all.34According to the terms of the comparison, an unreal samsara supported by a real mind (which is what the Chittamatrins want to say) is as ineffectual as the nonexistent rabbit’s horn held in a real hand. And since it is impossible for real hands to hold nonexistent things like rabbits’ horns, it follows that unreal things can have no support at all. If indeed they were supported, they would automatically become really existent things, both caused and causally effective in turn. |
